![]() What if, one night, you went to sleep and woke up in another world? A world that in its own way is as real as the one you'd just left; where actions have consequences, where pain and hunger and joy are all felt. An unbelievable world of gods and myth and magic. For some, it's reality; each night as they drift off to sleep, they awaken in a world that they cannot resist. An ancient world of mystery and adventure, just waiting for someone to take up the challenge. Every night, it is their refuge, their haven, from a concrete world of deadlines and disappointments. But what happens when you don't want to wake up? What happens when you'd rather be Lost in a Dream? Set in an original fantasy world. One of several games at Dreaming Out Loud, a multi-game role-playing site. |

| In an inexplicable worldwide event,forty-seven extraordinary children were spontaneously born by women who'd previously shown no sign of pregnancy.Millionaire inventor Reginald Hagreeves adopted seven of the children;when asked why, his only explanation was, "To save th world". These seven children form the Umbrella Academy, a dysfunctional family of superheroes with bizarre powers. Their first adventure at the age of ten pits them against an erratic and deadly Eiffel Tower,piloted by the fearsome zombie-robot Gustave Eiffel. Nearly a decade later, the team disbands, but when Hagreeves unexpectedly dies,these disgruntled siblings reunite just in time to save the world once again** |

| Welcome to Cairbre Ives Academy You're here because you're talented in the wrong ways. You know how to pick a lock, hotwire a car. Maybe you can crack a safe, or maybe you've just got a talent for annoying people. You're here because the people who care about you just can't handle you, and want you straightened out before you do something dumb enough to get you thrown in jail. Or maybe you're just here because nobody else will take you. Doesn't matter to us, we're going to rehabilitate you into society. But not in the way you think. By the time you leave Cairbre Ives, you'll be a fully functional member of society. JUst not necessarily the society everyone else thinks. By the time you graduate from the Academy, you'll be able to serve in any government agency you care to name. We're not just talking as a spook here either, although there is an element of James Bond to the whole thing. Politics, Economics, even the stuff you need to get you on the NASA space programme; the curriculum at Cairbre Ives is as secretive as it is exciting. So forget grade school and juvenile hall, forget life on the streets and come to Melbourne, Florida. Home to the School for Scumbags |
